ERBACH

This article appears in Volume V09, Page 733 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EMS-EUD
ERBACH , a town of Germany, in the grand-duchy of Hesse-
Darmstadt
 , on the Mumling, 22 M. S.E. of
Darmstadt
 . It has
cloth
  mills and
ivory
 -turning, for which last branch it possesses a technical school. Wool and cattle fairs are held twice a year. Pop. 2800. The castle contains an interesting collection of weapons and pictures, and in the chapel are the coffins of Einhard, the friend and biographer of Charlemagne, and his wife, Emma.
Erbach has
long
  been the residence of the
counts
  of Erbach, who trace their descent back to the 12th
century
 , and who held the office of cupbearer to the electors
palatine
  of the Rhine until 18o6. In 1532 the emperor Charles V. made the county a direct fief of the
Empire
 , on account of the services rendered by
Count
  Eberhard during the Peasants' War. Since 1717 the family has been divided into the three lines of Erbach-Ftirstenau, Erbach-Erbach and Erbach-Schonberg, who rank for precedence, not according to the age of their descent, but according to the age of the
chief
  of their line. In 1818 the
counts
  of Erbach-Erbach inherited the county of Wartenberg-Roth, and in 1903 the
count
  of Erbach-Schonberg was granted the title of prince. The
county was mediatized in 18o6, and is now incorporated with the duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt.
See Simon, Die Geschichte der Dynasten and Grafen zu Erbach (Frankfort, 1858).
